More About Traditional Braces on Hastings

Traditional braces can correct crowded teeth, spacing, bite concerns, and other alignment issues with steady, precise movement. At Sunrise Village Dental, we use bracket-and-wire braces to help patients create a healthier, more functional smile from our clinic on Hastings Street in East Vancouver.

Metal braces have been straightening smiles for decades. With that being said, today’s brackets are smaller and more comfortable than many patients expect, and the treatment can be a strong option when teeth need controlled movement.

We begin by assessing your teeth, bite, and overall oral health. From there, we can walk you through whether traditional braces, clear aligners, or another option makes the most sense for your goals and your day-to-day life.

Benefits of Traditional Braces on Hastings

  • Traditional braces can correct crowding, spacing, and bite concerns with steady tooth movement over time
  • Brackets and wires give our team precise control when planning more detailed tooth movements
  • Braces stay in place throughout treatment, so you do not need to remember to wear aligners each day
  • Regular visits allow us to monitor progress, adjust the braces, and walk you through what to expect next

Additional Info for Traditional Braces

Traditional braces use small brackets and a wire system to guide teeth into better positions over time. We monitor your progress during regular visits and make adjustments as needed, so your treatment stays on track and your teeth continue moving in a controlled way.

Braces may be recommended for patients with crowding, gaps, rotated teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, or bite issues that need precise correction. Most patients wear braces for a set period of time based on the complexity of their case. The exact timeline depends on your teeth, your bite, and how your smile responds to treatment.

Located on Hastings Street in East Vancouver, Sunrise Village Dental serves patients from Hastings-Sunrise, East Village, Renfrew-Collingwood, Burnaby Heights, Grandview-Woodland, and nearby communities. We recommend booking an appointment so we can assess your bite and help you understand whether traditional braces are a good fit.

FAQs About Traditional Braces
